Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala is in good condition during training and is expected to be included in the squad for the first round of the Bundesliga against Stuttgart on Friday, according to team reporter Philipp Kessler. Musiala completed individual training under rehabilitation coach Simon Martinello and assistant coach Floribert Ngalula, showing no discomfort or setbacks. This follows a period of concern after he collapsed during warm-up matches against Leipzig and Heidenheim, later revealing he suffers from a neurological dysfunction causing brief absence seizures. He has since undergone medical examinations and is recovering steadily. The club's medical staff are satisfied with his progress, and if included, he will receive some playing time to regain match rhythm. His return is seen as a boost for Bayern's midfield creativity and competitiveness in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
